WHAT ARE SMALL GROUPS?Fall+Dire… · The 2016 CJCLife Small Group Fall Semester September 11th–...

2

WHAT ARE SMALL GROUPS? Relationships are everything. In times of need and time of fun, CJCLife Small Groups are your source of friendship and support. They are your key to developing connections with those who share your interests or people who are dealing with similar life issues. Small Groups are an opportunity to reach out to others, while growing in your walk with the God. Small Group will meet once a week in homes, businesses, restaurants, or other locations throughout the city. The groups change and begin three times a year, so you have the opportunity to try out different ones. You will never fully experience all that CJCLife has to offer until you connect in a small group. Use this directory to search for a group that interests you. When you find a group that you are interested in, simply follow the instructions for that group and begin attending. We hope that you will join us this semester and experience the joy found through relationships!

You have an enemy . . . and he’s dead set on destroying all you hold dear and keeping you from experiencing abundant life in Christ. What’s more, his approach to disrupting your life and discrediting your faith? Our Prayers should not be general or generic, not a one-size-fits-all prayer, but our prayers should be SPECIFIC. PERSONALIZED. TARGETED.

In this Small Group, you will have the opportunity to strike back with prayer! With a weapon that really works! We will craft our prayer strategies and hit the enemy where it hurts, letting him know you’re on to him and that you won’t back down. Because with every new strategy you build, you are becoming a force to be reckoned with in the Spirit. You are becoming a powerful women who stands in the gap to protect her home, marriage, children, and destiny and purpose. Join the Sisterhood Movement and become a Warrior.
